Because religion and the use of it has done such a "bang up" job of bringing understanding, peace and love. Come now. After 10,000 years of it and all we have to show for it is more war, misery, greed, corruption, literally, sore little boys' sphincters and more than six billion hypocrites.

This is not a zero sum game.

For that matter, religion != all theism. The two are connected but are not identical in meaning.

At any rate, rant all you want against religion in the broadest sense possible, but that really has nothing to do with how shoddy modern atheism is. It's a pseudo intellectual group that is basically predicated on a reactionist response to Abrahamic religions, while at the same arguing that "God cannot exist" in spite of their limited focus on just those aforementioned "big three" faiths.

I wish them luck trying to prove that negative.

Entirely vacuous.

Theists have had more than 10,000 years to prove the existence of a god/gods/spirits/other mythological entities and have yet to produce the evidence that would indicate their premises to be true beyond repudiation. I think it's time logic had a chance to shine.

This post has no substance to it.

All the better I suppose, as this is very off topic and id rather not derail a thread.

We will just have to part ways on this issue. btw got my Sig cerokoted. Fabulous firearm.

Feminism, now that's really bull$#@!. Femenism worked in the past, now it functions as a way to criticize men for anything. Feminism might have been about eqaulity at one point, but now it's double standards. How many female sex offenders get the same sentence or treatment at a male sex offender, I wonder.

Why can there be an equal gender rights group instead where both women and men are treated equally? The double standards issue is why more and more MRA's have sprung up. And in Ontario, Canada, it's a woman's world.

Today's politicians, especially those in the US and UK. More specifically, their inability to answer direct questions; lack of conviction; desire to be 'politically correct'; knee-jerk reactions - I could go on.

After having leaders such as Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Disraeli, Churchill and Thatcher - now look at what we have.

My issue with modern feminism is how splintered and misunderstood it is, even by it's own members, and how much of a wasted potential it is.

It has the name, members, and clout to make powerful change on a political and social level, yet it still primarily focuses on women's issues only. If the purpose is an egalitarian one, then why are men's issues not treated equally alongside women's? Is it because men don't matter as much, or are we just focusing on women's issues now and, "We'll get to the men later?" Many feminists don't see this as an innate problem.

If feminism focused on individual rights, not gender rights, and changed the societal perception from a 'man or woman' to 'a person', it would accomplish a hell of a lot more than it ever can now. My disappointment stems from feminism occupying the 'equal movement' space solely yet doing nothing with its position. It needs to change for the better or die out to be replaced with something superior.

The reality is that the enemy of genuine equality is modern feminism. It is stagnation.

Whenever my mother/sister ask for my opinion on something, as if it actually matters to them. Case and point when we went to buy new furniture, simple couch and chair. I looked around and saw some things I liked. Then my mother asked 'See anything? and what do you think?' I respond pointing to ones I like.

She responds 'Mmm well 'we' think we'll get this one....I think.' As if it is open for negotiation which it isn't.

My mother/sister asking my opinion is BS because they promptly ignore it and only ask to be polite. 'They' have already decided what's happening and there is no compromising. Its two on one, I never win and that's how it has always been.

Focus. Control. Conviction. Resolve. A true ace lacks none of these attributes. Nothing can deter you from the task at hand except your own fears. This is your sky.

i don't mind accepting that i was wrong either, just that it would help if they laid it out better. and well, if i'm wrong then i don't get why they did it this way. PS4 is badass but you can always use the power for something else that may have more point to it than facial details.

All the better I suppose, as this is very off topic and id rather not derail a thread.

Off Topic: Congrats on getting your Sig cerokoted.

On Topic: Religion has been one of the greatest banes of mankind's existence for it has allowed mankind to forego responsibility and live in greater ignorance than when mankind lived in caves. This makes religion bull$#@!.

It's a correct, unbiased and non-stereotypical moniker to use so it's not bull$#@!.

Not all men cheat just as not all women cheat. I think what you're really trying to classify as bull$#@! is hypocrites which I wholeheartedly agree with.

3. That religious people being allowed to pray in schools is against the rights of atheists and devil worshipers.

It is. It enshrines religion into the education system which ironically, enshrines it in politics.

4. That all men out there are dogs and unfaithful.

Agreed.

5. That the United States does not need gun law reform.

It doesn't need it. In fact, just about every gun law on the books or in proposal needs to be repealed. You don't have the right to dictate the terms of my firearms ownership. I have a right to have whatever firearms I want and that includes everything the government itself possesses.
